In the FIFA rankings, Korea, ranked 23rd, is ahead of Jordan, ranked 87th. It also had three wins and two draws in the opponent team's record. However, as all three victories were by a 1-0, one must not let down one's guard. The most recent showdown was in November 2014, about 10 years ago. At that time, Han Kyo-won 34, Jeonbuk Hyundai won 1-0 thanks to the winning goal.
